Lovecraft wrote more about how finding out about new, unknowable information and understanding (or attempting to understand) can drive someone insane. So similar, but without the physical aspect (although tbf he also used physical transformation as an idea too, like people turning into fish monsters).
Kind of. The NES also used cell-based graphics and reusable tilemaps, which I think the 8 bit guy made a video about.
The NES has a picture processor (PPU) that has special things made for 2D, cell (tile)-based graphics with hardware sprites. Being able to reuse tiles and express each tile with a few bytes really helps keep things small, as storage was very expensive back then. Also, without bank switching (which SMB1 did not have), the 6502 could only address up to 64kb of memory (including ROM and RAM).
The music was also kept small, as it was generated in real time by the audio processor that was embedded in the CPU.
I’m sure there’s a disassembly out there along with some YouTube videos if you want to understand a bit more. IMO programming for these old systems is more fun compared to modern systems, which in comparison, have no limitations. It is a boon to creativity.

Marxism is the one thing that has given me hope for the future when everything now constantly looks so bleak.
Richard Wolff is who got me into Marxism personally.
Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.
Nowadays it’s maintained by the Tor Project.
Well it wasn’t made by the US Navy, it doesn’t allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I’m sure there are other differences too.
It’s like Tor, but different.
GNOME is the Apple of the FOSS world
That looks like exactly what I need. Seems to work pretty well already.
Thanks!
What’s preventing you from installing Asahi Linux?
Yeah. I find myself using Google Maps on a web browser to look up the coordinates, then copypasta-ing that into Organic Maps.
If you had access to wLE already, why didn’t you just back up the saves to a flash drive, or just make a complete image of the memory card?
Also on PS3, can’t you just copy saves to a flash drive in the stock OS? Even if not, jailbreaking is easy.
Me, an American:
Yeah. There’s the ao486 core available on MiSTer.
There’s also the PCem (as well as forks 86Box and PCBox) software emulators which are excellent ways of emulating old PCs.
But emulation (regardless of whether hardware or software) is not the same experience as real hardware, especially when it comes to PCs. There is the tinkering with hardware, the process of building the PC, the satisfying click of the power button and turbo button, using floppy disks, trying to get it online, etc.
IDK what they were thinking with the Stonehenge stunt.
I wouldn’t put it past Big Oil to infiltrate climate activist groups to make them appear unlikable. Same with throwing paint on a painting.
At least until Big Tech realizes that hallucinations in generative AI aren’t fixable and the whole stock market crashes.
Lemmy isn’t listed as a Reddit alternative. I wonder why that is.
They are also recommending PrivacyTools.io, which had a nasty takeover and started selling ad space. Privacy Guides is the better site.
